Chapter 15: The First Seven Days
What makes Gu Xiangyi feel most familiar is that Ning Yuanjiang has been investigating this ink Hanxiang before his death, but he can't find out at all, they are like a gust of wind, blowing in one place and leaving, and there is no trace left.
The aristocratic circle in the capital is too big, and almost every deep mansion compound has its own people, among which the killer Deadpool is endless, but Mo Hanxiang, a big fish, is still the object of everyone's competition, because getting it is equivalent to getting a part of the power of the rivers and lakes.
As far as Gu Xiangyi knew, King Ye was already crazy if he wanted to get Mo Hanxiang.
It turned out that Mo Hanxiang was in charge of Xiao Jingyao's father, so it was not surprising. If it was really a big family or a deep-rooted aristocrat in charge, then the court would have been in chaos a long time ago, and these well-trained killers would be good material for eradicating the dissidents.
The flames burned the paper money clean, Gu Xiangyi groaned and said: "You have to be careful, we have to be grateful for saving you, but people's hearts are unpredictable, we still have to keep some minds." ”
"Got it, sister. Jiang Yan cleared his throat: "Actually, he told me about Mo Hanxiang, and said that if possible, he would let Mo Hanxiang's people come to help us." ”
"What do you help us? Kill into the Ye Wang's Mansion? Or break into the palace and pick off the emperor's dog head?" Gu Xiangyi smiled: "This kind of thing is easy to implicate them all, so forget it." ”
"Okay, sister, you know it. Jiang Yan stood up, the breeze blew across his face, making him squint unnaturally, and Gu Xiangyi's heart trembled when he looked at the eyes that were very similar to his aunt.
Xiao Jingyao's father did not allow his son to help and protect people related to the Ning family, especially someone like Jiang Yan who was too busy to take care of himself, and if he took it, it would be tantamount to getting into trouble.
Therefore, he guarded his son very tightly, and Xiao Jingyao did not dare to bring Jiang Yan to the open, but only looked at the side and carefully protected, on the one hand, he was worried that he would be assassinated by the king or the emperor, and on the other hand, he was afraid that he would be discovered by his father.
So the two of them need to go back early, otherwise his father will be suspicious.
"Let's go. Gu Xiangyi patted the clothes on Jiang Yan's shoulders, and looked at them a little uneasily: "Be careful on the way back, trouble Xiao Gongzi to take care of it, if our sister and brother succeed in revenge that day, we will not forget what you did today." ”
Xiao Jingyao shook his head lightly: "Xiangyi, oh no, you don't have to worry, General Ning has a life-saving grace for me, and taking care of his relatives for him is what I should do." ”
"It's good if you call me Xiangyi, I don't mind, just get used to this name. Gu Xiangyi didn't notice the flickering loss in Xiao Jingyao's eyes, turned his head to Jiang Yan and said, "Okay, let's go quickly, it will arouse suspicion if you rub it any longer." ”
Seeing the two leave, Gu Xiangyi looked at the ashes in the brazier, as desolate as the day after the Ning family was burned down, the day she came.
A dark shadow flashed down from the corner of the wall, and before Gu Xiangyi could come back to his senses, he saw a man standing in front of him. At that moment, she almost thought that Jiang Yan was back, if she hadn't seen the person's face clearly, she would have almost let her guard down.
Yi Jingxiao looked at the brazier on the side with a gloomy face, and then looked at Gu Xiangyi, her eyes were full of questions, as if she could see all the doubts in her heart clearly when she looked at her like this.
"Today is the first seven of General Ning, and the first seven of the entire Ning family, what is the prince doing here?" Gu Xiangyi asked in an unkind tone.
Yi Jingxiao didn't expect her to ask like this, and thought that she would avoid this topic, she was originally frank and open, but she was a little weak when asked like this.
Clearing his throat, he replied, "The son of the deceased is an old friend of mine, and it is my duty to do my best for his family." ”
The words were closed, Yi Jingxiao lowered his eyes, and his thick and slender eyelashes left a circle of dark shadows under his eyes, showing boundless loneliness.
Thinking that he really missed his brother, Gu Xiangyi relaxed his vigilance against him for some reason, and when he saw that he was carrying paper money, he simply lit a fire for him and burned the paper money to the family members under Jiuquan.
Seeing that she was not taboo that she was there, Yi Jingxiao also felt a little more comfortable, and asked after a while, "What is the relationship between you and the Ning family?"
"I don't want to answer you. When these words came out, Gu Xiangyi was afraid of arousing his suspicions, so he said casually: "General Ning saved my life." ”
Yi Jingxiao's eyes narrowed slightly: "If it's just a simple life-saving grace, how can you know the secret path of the Ning family? ”
"I've been around since I was rescued by him, what's wrong?" Gu Xiangyi was unconvinced.
"But as far as I know, General Ning's adopted daughter is only Ning Lanxin, I have seen Ning Lanxin, you are not her. ”
Hearing this familiar name, it was like a scoop of water being poured into a pot of oil, and it exploded in Gu Xiangyi's heart in an instant.
Although the Ning family did not have the kindness of giving birth to Ning Lanxin, but in the end, she was picked up from the pile of dead people, so that she could take care of and protect her, just a month ago, her aunt came back to the door, planning to discuss with Ning Chu to find a suitable family for Ning Lanxin, but how did she repay the Ning family?
In order to have a place beside the king of industry, she ignored the grace of love in the past, and put Ning Chu into a situation of near death, drugged, framed, framed, and framed her father in front of the king of industry.
How bad can a person be to be like Ning Lanxin? She couldn't figure it out.
"Don't mention that name to me. ”
Yi Jingxiao didn't ask her why, but changed the conversation again and suddenly asked, "You killed Ge Jin, right?"
Is it so obvious? Gu Xiangyi's face was silent, but his heart was already overturned. In addition to Yi Jingxiao today, Jiang Yan also asked the same question, and everyone who co-authored Ge Yan's death to understand the inside story suspected that she did it?
Seeing that she didn't answer, Yi Jingxiao sprinkled the paper money in his hand into the brazier and said, "I saw you in Hongyun Tower that day, and on the second day, someone found Ge Yu dead in the alley next to the door of his house, which is too coincidental. ”
"Who are you talking about? I don't know. Gu Xiangyi got up, planning to stay away from this weirdo who likes to guess.
But the moment she got up, the jade pendant on her waist was seen by him.
This woman must have a good relationship with the Ning family, Yi Jingxiao did not throw out all the questions, he knew that there would be no answers to many things, and there was no need to ask. But intuitively, he felt that the woman in front of him was in the same camp as himself, although he was not a teammate, at least he would not be an opponent.
"That day in Hongyun Building, the name of you is Lu Mingsheng, he is a famous gentleman in the capital, although the family has no real power, but he can't stand his mother's money, all for his expenses, he is raising more and more crooked temperament, and there is a son and two daughters in the family before he has discussed his relatives. ”
When Gu Xiangyi thought that he was going to ask about his relationship with the Ning family, he never expected these words to pop out of his mouth, she didn't care who Lu Mingsheng was, so why did he say it?
Looking at Yi Jingxiao in confusion, Gu Xiangyi asked, "Why are you telling me this?"
"Lu Mingsheng is a womanizer, if the girl he likes is not everyone's daughter, then he will hardly be able to escape from his hands, my people recently heard that he is inquiring about you, teasing you on the one hand, if Ge Yan is implicated in that incident, it will not be good. ”
For this kind reminder, although Gu Xiangyi didn't take it to heart, she was still grateful.
"He wiped his neck again, I'm not afraid of him. ”
Yi Jingxiao smiled faintly, looking at her gaze becoming deeper and deeper: "In return for reminding you, you can also answer me a question." ”
As if he was afraid that she would refuse, Yi Jingxiao asked in the next sentence: "What's your name?" ”
There is nothing to hide in the name, who knows if someone will find out after you hide it? The means of the Jingde Mansion are very good, and it is only a matter of time before you find out what Gu Xiangyi's surname is, and where she lives.
"Gu Xiangyi. The simple and neat three words are as refreshing as her methods of killing.
However, this name made Yi Jingxiao stunned for a moment: "Could it be that he is the daughter of Uncle Zhongyi?"
"You still know me?" Gu Xiangyi was very surprised. The original owner, a concubine who does not go out of the door and does not step out of the second door, should not have met this prince, Gu Hengjun has so many daughters, although it is a good generation, but there are many people in the world who are like words, why did he come when he opened his mouth?
However, the subconscious question can be regarded as admitting Yi Jingxiao's problem.
